Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s every bit as much of the presidential transition process as fitting the Oval Office for new drapes- abruptly switching course on federal funding for groups that “promote or perform” abortions abroad. Last week, President Barack Obama issued an executive order ending the “Global Gag Rule”- also known as the “Mexico City Policy”. But some activists see opportunity to get past hardened battle lines over abortion. We examine foreign aid and family planning, and the idea of a common “abortion reduction” agenda.
